%0 Journal Article %T Entre la lengua Francesa y los creoles: Po¨¦tica Caribe£¿a %A Masello %A Laura %J N¨²cleo %D 2010 %I Scientific Electronic Library Online %X the issue of language and its decentralizing implications in the literary field represent the great challenge theoreticians and writers from the french-speaking antilles have faced. how has the linguistic issue moved into their discourse, and what position have writers adopted in the face of french-metropolitan literary models? in this paper i adopt ¨¦douard glissant£¿s work as my theoretical framework. he proposes, among other things, that the linguistic concept of creolization be transferred from the cultural to the literary field, as a metaphor for appropriation. he also updates the debate around the aesthetic debt to european models. starting from an understanding of creolization as a m¨¦tissage, conceived as a process, with results that are essentially unpredictable and whose symbol is the creole language, glissantian poetics build the concept of relation around the region£¿s multilingualism, the dialectics between oral and written works, and the questioning of literary genres. to illustrate this in the literary field, we will take examples from a corpus consisting of works written and published at the end of the 1980s in guadalupe and martinique. %K antillean debate %K french language %K literary creolization. %U http://www.scielo.org.ve/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0798-97842010000100007&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
